}}'''''Kalani Brooke Hilliker''''' was born on September 23, 2000 to Kira Girard. She dances at Club Dance Studio, and films for Lifetime's reality television series ''Dance Moms ''at the Abby Lee Dance Company. She started dancing at a young age, and kicked off her television dance career by appearing as part of AK Squared, a dance group that performed on Disney Channel's ''Shake It Up: Make Your Mark''. Soon after, Kalani appeared on ABC Family's ''Bunheads'' and Lifetime's ''Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition''. ''Abby's Ultimate Dance. Competition'' is a televised dance competition hosted by Abby Lee Miller. It depicts young children and their mothers fighting for the top spot on the show and the winner is rewarded with a scholarship to the Joffrey School of Ballet in New York. Although Kalani didn't win, she was a member of the final 3 of season 2, and was even said to be Abby's favorite contestant. After the show, Kalani arrived at the Abby Lee Dance Company, Miller's dance studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and began filming for ''Dance Moms''. At season 4's mid-season break, Kira and Kalani left the show temporarily due to their refusal to sign Lifetime's contract for the show. However, they returned for the filming of season 5. Today, Kalani still trains at Club Dance Studio, but films and takes some classes at the ALDC. | }}'''''Kalani Brooke Hilliker''''' was born on September 23, 2000 to Kira Girard.
